Cole Slaw

Recommended Posts

I know I'm probably posting this in the wrong area...but here goes anyway. I think I got gluten and looking at my food logs the only thing it could have been were either baked beans or coleslaw. The coleslaw was purchased at a deli and it had a vinegar taste, however I can't figure out what the heck would be in coleslaw that would contain gluten...any thoughts?

If it's from the deli, there could be a lot of cc issues. There's mayo in coleslaw dressing, they could be double dipping into the mayo jar to make sandwiches, pasta salads etc... There is vinegar in the dressing as well, but should be OK as long as it's not a malt vinegar. Did you get your baked beans at the deli also? Lots of brands contain wheat.

No...the baked beans came from a can, but I was in such a rush, I didn't even notice the brand name. As for the coleslaw, it definately had a strong vinegar taste, but I'm not sure if they make there own, or get it by bulk...I'm think there own...but I'm going to call.

My vote goes to beans and then cross contamination of the coleslaw. The deli staff could have prepared it wearing the same gloves they used to make pasta salad, for example. I've also seen wheat starch in several different kinds of beans (usually chili beans, but baked I've never looked at closely. We buy Bush's, which are gluten-free).

We generally avoid deli food purchases because the risk of cross contamination is so high.

really...I thought all Bush Beans were gluten-free...I didn't know you had to read the label with them! thanks....I really don't know what kind of beans she served that day, I forgot to look at the can.

That's actually relatively out of date because the Bush's Chili Beans switched from wheat starch to corn starch (at least where I buy them) and I always double check before purchasing. We buy the chili beans (not the chili) in order to make our own chili.
